Crypto ETFs drew record inflows this month as DeFi TVL rose 4%, helped by regulatory clarity talks and renewed institutional interest in Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems.
Institutional demand for cryptocurrencies stayed firm despite volatility, with U.S.-listed Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs attracting record inflows this month. DeFi trading volumes and total value locked rose nearly 4% week-on-week, signaling renewed confidence in decentralized markets. Analysts credit regulatory clarity discussions in Washington for improving sentiment among asset managers. Ethereum Layer-2 chains saw rising liquidity migration, while DePIN protocols recovered modestly after last week’s correction. Market strategists expect further upside if macro risk appetite and ETF demand remain intact.
